The editors liked
The Intel SSD 730 Series has a high endurance rating and comes with a five-year warranty. The drive offers a huge boost in performance compared with regular hard drives and can handle RAID configurations
The editors didn't like
The new drive doesn't support encryption
And its performance isn't the best among similarly priced SSDs
Excellent performance, especially IOPS at low QD, Data Center pedigree and reliability, Data Center grade power loss protection, Good cost/GB (se below),
High power draw and corresponding high temps may be an issue for some
Intel has a track record of overlapping parts among their consumer and enterprise lines. They did it with the X25-E / X25-M, with the SSD 710 / SSD 320, and now they've repeated that trend with the DC S3500 and SSD 730. The big difference this time ar...

Word on the streets is that no self-respecting 11-year-old boy can resist computer hardware with a skull on it. It's probably a shame, then, that there aren't many 11-year-olds in the prosumer category, sporting wallets fat enough to drop twice as much mo...
We've waded through a lot of performance data, and we'll indulge a couple more graphs before weighing in with our final verdict. The following scatter plots use an overall performance score, which we derived by comparing each drive's performance to a com...

At launch, the new Intel SSD 730 Series makes a very good internal drive choice for your computer, but it'll become a better value when its street price drops below the current suggested retail price....

The Intel SSD 730 Seriess SSD family pulled a page from the enterprise DC S3500 and created a SSD to suite the enthusiast, media professional and Workstation environments. With RAID 0 performance above 1GB/s, over 130K IOPS, 70GB per day write endurance,...
Samsung's 850 Pro SSDs are without a doubt the fastest SSDs of this moment. Given that this product does not seem to have any flaws, we heartily recommend it to those who are looking for the fastest possible SSD. The Vector 150 and AMD Radeon R7 SSDs ar...

Good warranty, datacentreclass integrity, toptier performance
Expensive
The technical backstory of server-class turned enthusiast drive, coupled with a decent warranty and enormous data-write ceiling, are as impressive as the palpably good lab-test results. The 730 Series is the most expensive drive, per gigabyte, but if you ...
Abstract: Last month we published a review on Intels new 730 series SSD , based on the same controller that you can find in Intel enterprise SSDs. As the controller is developed in house by Intel they claim that the consistency in the performance of these drives ...
5 year warranty with 70GB of data rated per day, incompressible and compressible performance is very strong, IOPS performance, Intel drives have proven to be very reliable since they launched, built in capacitors act as a data safety measure,
A little more expensive than some leading competitor drives at same capacity, 240GB drive takes a 200 MB/s write hit compared to the 480GB drive (400MB in Raid 0), Kitguru says: An excellent drive from Intel and one geared for long term reliability with b
We initially reviewed the Intel 730 ‘Jackson Ridge' Solid State Drive early in March and noted that it was a very capable drive when dealing with a variety of intensive tasks. Our views since then haven't changed at all and we find Raid 0 performance is v...
